Cherrypick of #6824
Explanation: This host-specific toolchain directory was added years ago in #2035 to the list of library directories, but it can cause problems when cross-compiling.
Scope: Right now, nothing is placed in this directory, so remove it before it can cause problems.
Issue: #6767
Risk: low, as nothing relies on it yet
Testing: Passed all CI and I've removed it for my native Android builds of the toolchain for the last four months, without a problem.
